Orioles hope Ryan Flaherty will rebound at Triple-A
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

Flaherty was optioned to Norfolk Saturday after hitting just .133/.228/.233 in 30 games to start the season.

"Last year, he was a Rule 5 guy and the circumstances were different," Showalter said. "We got him through the year and he was contributor from last year, and I think [he] will be again. But he needs to go get his legs back under him, offensively, his confidence, everything."
